My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Xue Youli nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it can be cured. However, your headache is an old ailment. You need to focus on relieving liver depression, nourishing the liver and blood, and slowly regulate your body. If you can, it can be cured in about half a year."

Queen Mother Yin was delighted. "I have been suffering from a headache for many years. If you can cure my pain, I will reward you handsomely!"

Chu Xinyue immediately said, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Xue is a very good doctor. I was impressed by her skills and that's why we made peace!"

"You rarely praise others, it seems that Concubine Xue is indeed a capable person."

Empress Dowager Yin said this, then turned and ordered, "Madame Li, give Concubine Xue a seat. I want to have a good chat with her about how to treat my headache."

?

After Song Jingsi came to the palace, he fell ill due to acclimatization and was unable to participate in the assassination of Concubine Ning.

The maidservant Han Qiu vividly recounted what had happened that morning. "Master, how could Concubine Xue be so formidable? No matter what happens, she always manages to turn misfortune into good fortune! I heard that Concubine Ning's hairpin nearly pierced her to death, but the Emperor and Princess Qinghe teamed up to save her!"

Song Jingsi frowned, "Who would have thought that even Concubine Ning would fall into Xue Youli's hands? We must be more cautious in the future."

This Xue Youli is very evil. Whoever harms her will be in trouble.

"Yes, the servant understands."

Song Jingsi hates Xue Youli, but knows very well that she is no match for Xue Youli.

Anyway, Yin Xuan'er and Xue Qingyao are no less hostile to Xue Youli than she is. She can just be a spectator and watch them fight each other, and maybe she can reap the benefits.

?

At this moment, by the Canglan Lake.

Xue Qingyao and Murong Ye met again in the rockery, but this time they avoided the patrolling guards. One hid behind the rockery and the other stood in front of it.

The two of them communicated in a low voice through the hole in the middle of the rockery.

"Where is Concubine Ning being held captive?"

Murong Ye failed to catch the other eavesdropper who escaped last night, and he did not dare to take the risk of using the secret agents in the palace again.

In fact, after Xue Qingyao was defeated by Xue Youli time and time again, he began to think about replacing her with someone else.

He wanted to abandon Xue Qingyao and support Concubine Ning to take the throne.

How could he have expected that Concubine Ning was not as good as Xue Qingyao!

He just made a move and he lost his life!

As a chess piece, the first priority before charging is to protect yourself.

Concubine Ning couldn't even figure this out, so it was her stupidity that she fell into Murong Che's hands.

"I don't know either. The person was taken away by Murong Che's trusted eunuch, who said that she would be executed. Maybe Concubine Ning is already dead." The moment Xue Qingyao heard Murong Ye's question, she guessed that Concubine Ning was his person.

In her previous life, Concubine Ning was close to her, and she thought that Concubine Ning wanted to win her over and form an alliance with her.

Later, when she became the queen, she did not kill Concubine Ning because she had helped her many times.

Now she knew that Concubine Ning was not helping her, but was planning something for Murong Ye.

Murong Ye listened to Xue Qingyao's words and replied firmly, "Impossible. With Murong Che's personality, he would never kill Concubine Ning before he got any useful information from her."

Xue Qingyao sneered inwardly when he repeatedly addressed her as "Concubine Ning." Her gentle voice betrayed no clues. "Ye Lang, Concubine Ning was determined to die during the assassination attempt. I believe Murong Che won't be able to extract any useful information from her!"

Murong Ye asked Xue Qingyao where Concubine Ning was imprisoned, of course not to save her.

He wanted to kill Concubine Ning and silence her before Murong Che tortured her to extract a confession.

To him, Concubine Ning was just a chess piece, and he was worried that this chess piece could not withstand the torture and would eventually betray him, his master.

However, Xue Qingyao's words calmed Murong Ye's irritable mood.

From last night to this morning, he didn't sleep a wink all night trying to deal with the aftermath. As a result, before he finished dealing with things here, Concubine Ning got into trouble again.

He has been living smoothly these years, and this time his plans were disrupted again and again, so it was inevitable that he lost his composure.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Xue Qingyao was right. If Concubine Ning dared to take the step of assassination, she would have burned her boats.

She doesn't even care about her own life or death, so how could she betray me?

He was so anxious just now that he lost his mind.

"Yao'er, there is something you need to do immediately."

Xue Qingyao noticed Murong Ye suddenly became serious and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Murong Ye didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he asked seriously, "I remember you said you can give massages, right?"

Xue Qingyao was stunned for a moment, "Yes! My mother gets a headache every time it rains, so I learned massage techniques from the doctor at the clinic for a while."

Murong Ye received her affirmative response and continued, "I heard from Lao Wu that the Queen Mother has a headache and often suffers from it. You can take this opportunity to get close to the Queen Mother."

As long as she can get the support of the Queen Mother, Xue Qingyao will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in everything she does in the harem.

"Okay! I listen to you!"

Xue Qingyao had seen how much Empress Dowager Yin took care of Yin Xuan'er, and she felt both envious and jealous.

Her mother, Yan Niang, was a prostitute, and she had to depend on others for her survival since she was a child. She longed to become a lady of prominent family.

That's why he instigated Xue Youli to hang himself in an attempt to take his place.

Now after hearing Murong Ye's plan, her eyes lit up.

Yes, she was so mad at Xue Youli that she even forgot that she could win the appreciation of Queen Mother Yin with her massage skills!

In her previous life, she had spent a lot of money to climb up the big tree of Queen Mother Yin.

Afraid that her massage wasn't good enough, she would frequently seek guidance from the imperial physician.

Unfortunately, ever since she killed Queen Mother Yin with her own hands, her massage skills have been abandoned.

Now she wants to pick up her massage skills again to please Queen Mother Yin!

At the same time, in the temporary dungeon of the palace.

Murong Che looked down at Ning, who was tied to the rack. "I promise you, as long as you tell me the mastermind behind this, I will spare your life!"

Ning had been severely tortured by Wang Defa and was covered in wounds, but she took it all on her own and refused to reveal Murong Ye's name.

Faced with Murong Che's questioning, Ning glared at him coldly, "You bastard emperor! Eight years ago, Murong Yuan slaughtered sixty-three members of my Ning family because of a few poems my father wrote! A son pays for his father's debt. Now that Murong Yuan is dead, killing you to pay for the lives of my entire Ning family is just the same! Unfortunately, I failed! Now that I'm in your hands, I have nothing to say! Kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

Ning family?

Murong Che's pupils tightened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you Lord Ning's daughter?"

He remembered that before the late emperor fell seriously ill, he suddenly became obsessed with Taoism and alchemy. Not only did he neglect the affairs of the court, he also believed in slander and executed the entire family of a civil servant named Ning because of a doggerel poem.

Lord Ning once guided him in his studies and could be considered half his master.

When the late emperor ordered the execution of the Ning family, he was still young. Even though he knew that the late emperor did a good job, he was powerless to change anything.

Now that he is in a high position, whenever he thinks of those who died in vain, he reminds himself that he must be a good emperor who works diligently and loves his people.

Now that he knew Ning's identity, he felt a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue the interrogation.

He really needed Ning's testimony to identify Murong Ye, but he knew very well that the Ning family would rather break than bend. Even if it meant death, Ning would never give up Murong Ye!
